What’s With All The Hype? The New PS3 Processor Chip

April 16th, 2010

There was quite a lot of hype last year about Play Station 3’s revolutionary processor chip, “The Cell.” This processor chip was going to blow everybody’s minds and totally change the way we think about video games. It would make games so amazingly realistic, you’d never be able to go back to the old systems again.

Now, the PS3 is out and everybody is still waiting for that mind-blowing gaming experience that the Cell promised. Sony had said that, in particular, the Cell would give the PS3 better graphics and more detail, and give it a competitive edge over the xBox 360 and Nintendo Wii.

What makes the Cell processor chip so extraordinary? The Cell processor chip is a multicore chip, which means that it has a main processor core that controls a number of sub-processors. This design is a big improvement over regular processor chips because it is capable of carrying out several tasks at once. With the Cell, each chip has several cores that control 8 sub-processors. While regular processor chips can carry out only 2 tasks at once, the Cell is capable of carrying out up to 10. This means that it runs faster than 4 GHz, 10 times faster than PC processor chips. The Intel chip comes closest, running at 3.8 GHz.

What this means for gamers is that the PS3 processor chip is able to offer better graphics. The increased operating speed and multi-tasking can be used to make games even more realistic. This was the cause for all the hype surrounding the release of the gaming system with the new processor chip.

Unfortunately, many gamers feel that the Cell has fallen short of expectations. Some gamers say that the XBox 360 has better graphics than the PS3. If you compare games made for both systems, like Madden 07, Call Of Duty 3, Need For Speed Carbon and others, you can see that the XBox has better graphics all around. You can see some differences in the graphics, but it’s hard to say that one system’s graphics are better than any others. For example, in some games the backgrounds are clearer, or the lighting better. Most gamers agree that these differences are hardly noticeable.

It seems to many that the makers of PS3 are not using the chip’s full potential. Not yet, anyway. Gamers are eagerly awaiting the next round of new games to be released by PS3, and hoping that developers will use the Cell to its fullest potential.

The Cell was developed by Sony, Toshiba and IBM working together over four years, and there are plans in the works to use its high speed multi-tasking capabilities for new models of digital televisions and other household electronics. The Play Station 3’s use of this brand new technology is something of a first; for a new processor chip to make its debut with a gaming console is unusual. Maybe this will be a new trend in the tech industry. This is good news for gamers!

The Usefulness Of The iPad.

March 12th, 2010

The iPad Tablet, otherwise just known as the iPad, is a computerized device used for many different things. It is made by Apple and is part of their new touch screen product like, like an iPhone. It is used primarily for reading eBooks, so it is therefore the convenient size of an open book. The other big competitor for this product is Kindle, by Amazon. This has more options than Kindle since it is more than just a device for reading.

It is to officially go on sale at the end of March, 2010 and orders have already broken records. It has gotten huge amounts of press and made its first major appearance on stage at the Grammy Awards. It was used as a plug for Apple, since the iPad was read from to announce the winner.

From the back you might think it was a really small laptop and from the front you may think it was a really huge iPhone. It is just a very flat computer system that does not stand up. It must be held. It also does not have a mouse or keyboard that come with it, though they can be added. It is more used as a music player, book downloader, and sound recorder with the ability to make phone calls and connect to the web.

It is fairly light, weighing one and a half pounds. Considering what it can do, this is extraordinarily light. It looks the simplest of all Apple products (meaning that the technology is very sophisticated, it just does not have a lot of frills). It has but one USB port and a single headphone jack. The rest of the iPad is completely smooth.

This product had been in the works for seventeen years before it was finally released in January 2010. Its long production ensured firstly that all the major kinks and problems could be worked out. It secondly made the hype over the product far more than it would have been over any other Apple product.

This is even including the price which many view as high. The iPad starts at five hundred dollars without any keyboard or mouse. Those need to be bought on their own. Sales have not slowed, but some are surprised by the product’s limitations. It cannot operate more than one program at a time nor are there video recording options. Many believe these problems will be soon corrected and upgraded.

Some have speculated that a lawsuit over the name will follow. Lawyers from both sides have been contacted and have both discussed publicly the fact that they are unsure if a lawsuit will even happen. The right to the name is caught up in much technical and legal confusion and the original owner may not wish to press charges, especially considering that no verdict could be sorted out before the iPad goes live to stores.

Lawyers from both sides are unsure to whom the name legally belongs and if there is an impending law suit. It is doubtful it will harm sales at all, though it may delay the product reaching shelves. If there is one, it will be cutting it very close to the release date.

The iPad Tablet is a petite, flat pc that is in tablet form. We’ve got the inside skinny on top notch Tablet PC Reviews .
